ADHD Symptoms: Attention deficit; hyperactivity disorder: short attention span (distractibility, impulsiveness) and being overly active. Taken together, these are some of the contributing factors that make it difficult for a person with add or adhd to learn or attend. See: http://1.Usa.Gov/1b6yo0f. However, when one sees a condition with a prevalence of 10%, you have to wonder if it is just labeling.
